Canada: TELUS enhances Optik TV app

TELUS has launched an enhanced app for Optik TV that makes it easier to watch content – any time, on any device. The new integrated app enables subscribers to watch live TV, access thousands of On Demand titles, and provides the ability to set and manage recordings, all from a smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Optik TV subscribers can use the app to browse trending TV, choose from popular On Demand titles (including Rotten Tomatoes scores) or discover new content with the improved interface and search engine. Users can also access up to 185 channels in home and 155 on-the-go – the most live TV channels available on mobile devices in Western Canada. The app also allows users to order a movie on their TV and pick up right where they left off on their mobile device.

“We’re constantly evolving Optik TV to provide our customers with enhanced viewing options that suit their lifestyle and put them in control of when, where and how they want to enjoy their favourite content,” said Blair Miller, Vice-President, Products & Content at TELUS. “Whether streaming the game on your smartphone, finding a new binge-worthy series or setting a recording while you are out so you don’t miss your favourite show, the new Optik TV mobile app is another way we’re making it easier for our customers to enjoy Canada’s best entertainment experience.”
